3.0 out of 5 stars The Royal Festival Hall disappoints, January 20, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Christmas Favorites (Audio CD)
Virgil does his best but the accoustics and the Harrison & Harrison organ do not compare with the Aeolian Skinner organ of Riverside Church. Janet Coster and the John McCarthy Chorus brighten the CD and the chimes of the organ add a little but the accoustics of The Royal Festival Hall in my opinion spoil listening pleasure.

'A Virgil Fox Christmas' on EMI CDM 7243 5 66088 is a much better recording, includes most of the same pieces and the accoustics of Riverside Church compliment a better organ.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavy-duty Christmas music for the pipe organ, December 26, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Christmas Favorites (Audio CD)
This is definitely a keeper in your Christmas collection.

It showcases the organ as a solo instrument, with really fantastic keyboard and voicing work by Virgil Fox. Compare this to the Tabernacle Choir organ, which could be just as magnificent, however the Tabernacle organ is always in the background, secondary to the Choir.

There are two or three choral works on this disk (it was also available on cassette). This serves to balance out the dynamic range of the collection, so that it doesn't come off as overwhelmingly loud.

The original tape is copyright 1987.

Turn up the volume, and enjoy.
